A 16-year-old was arrested in the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old, according to Sheriff Jamey Noel.

Investigators said the young neighbors were together at a home when the younger one was shot.

Deputies are not saying what led to the shooting, but they say this situation is a reminder to be careful with weapons.

"Always assume that all firearms are loaded and just don't ever point a firearm at someone and make sure that parents, even parents of teenagers, are keeping firearms out of the reach of children," Noel said.
